the problem for governor romney, two fold. one, if he's trying to show, and he is, that he can relate to and understand the frustrations that working women can go through, this does not suggest that he understands a sense of outsiderness that many women feel when they work for largely male environments and, two, raises a question, at the time this man had become governor was a top executive in the business world for multiple decades and didn't he know qualified women he could call upon? why did he need to get a binder full of women to find some. jim acosta pointed out, he did know women and had some on his staff, did himself a disservice with the way he phrased this. but the obama team is getting mileage out of it. >> he is talking about the role women had at bain capital? it is a male dominated profession, particularly back then. has he talked at all about that? he was focusing solely on his time as governor in the debate. >> actually, no, anderson. we have not heard mitt romney talk about that on the campaign trail, how wome

does pressure on mitt romney grow? >> you know, if there were something substantive underneath it the story might continue but it's pretty clear what he meant. he was talking about a baby and life was god's will, not that -- god's will that a woman be raped. you know, anderson, looking at these surveys, this survey is a bit of an outlier. mitt romney has been closing the gender gap with women since the first debate. i think one of the things that's happening here is the obama campaign has had this very focused campaign of women are a collection of reproductive parts, that's the only thing they care about are these kind of issues as opposed to having enough respect for women to understand that guess, what they participate in the economy, they're the engine of economic growth, they're starting most small businesses in this country. and i think it's a little bit demeaning to say that women only care about one thing and one thing only. and i think that's one of the reasons that obama's having a problem, an increasing probl

deficits into commanding romney leads. the idea behind is it simple. all polls base the outcome on what pollsters believe the electorate will look like, how many democrats versus how many republicans they think will actually turn out. getting that partisan makeup wrong can tilt the predictions. the people that don't believe the polls say this time, pollsters think the 2012 electorate will look a lot like 2008 and this they say is wrong. notice i said this time. back in 2004, democrats complained that the polls which showed george w. bush leading were overestimating the number of republicans who would vote. they were wrong. the polls were right. in 2000, al gore said don't believe the polls, polls showed him losing narrowly. polls were right. in fact, it's hard to find an example of the polls on average getting it wrong unless you go back to 1948, when they predicted thomas dewey defeated president harry truman. cnn political contributor ari fleischer joins us. he's an occasionally unpaid communications advisor for the romn

romney was spending a lot of money. and on the personal side, spending the weekend in the hospital with his 3-year-old daughter for the second time during the campaign, it put things in perspective big time for him. >> certainly our thoughts are with her and with the family. as a democrat, would you have liked to see him stay in the race? >> sure. santorum had very little money, very little staffing. john reberger as his chief consultant, great guy. but beyond that, i don't think he even had a headquarters. headquarters was wherever his car was. he did a heck of a job in the primaries. he pointed the way for president obama. don't let him outspend you 16 to 1 which romney did. and authenticity, which santorum has in abundance and romney lacks. and second, this blue collar sensibility that even in the republican party rick santorum brought into the race, and even until wisconsin, this last major primary, romney seemed unable to get middle class or low income, even republicans, those blue collar republicans, reagan democr

romney got 13. i'd be very surprised if this holds, but i think what it does underscore is that unlike the sort of lazy character tur that is applied to conservative voters of faith, in iowa, 61% of evangelicals voted for either a mormon or roman catholic. you don't have to get up and quote scripture and say you're born again and you'll get their votes. >> gloria, were you surprised by the numbers? >> no. you know, it's interesting. i think when you look at the evangelical vote we now have to understand that they're not a monolith, it isn't a simple picture, and that they vote on a variety of issues. this could also not be great for the republican party as a whole that evangelicals, for example, disagree with some republicans on the issues of capital punishment or even the environment so as you head into a general election, they may not be as dependable as they once were considered. >> do you buy that, ralph? >> i'd be surprised, an der sorngs and i'll tell you why. if you look at the exit polls fro

senior romney advisers were out of sight all day long. and here in iowa, and i think this is what happens when the romney campaign has a new cycle that gets out of his control. we saw that happen earlier today. before they put out that statement saying what they wanted to do. one of their top surrogates in new hampshire senator ahat who was on his list of running mates said she was not going to be joining richard mourdock on the campaign trail today. this is threading the needle for this campaign. trying to distance themselves from mourdock while at the same time not throwing him under the bus. >> we saw the obama campaign jump on this pretty quickly. do they plan to keep those attacks up beyond today? >> well, to the extent that this continues to be part of the new cycle, certainly. they believe they have been trying to paint the portrait. when it comes to women's health issues and them having control over their own bodies and the republican party is dangerous. the campaign jumping on this right away and the traveling campaign saying tha
